One of crypto's largest KOLs has been secretly extracting millions from his audience
We’ll expose him soon
Unfortunately, he’s just a symptom of a much bigger problem
Social trading has brought out the worst in KOLs. It was designed to keep them honest by making every trade public. In reality, the opposite happened
In just a few weeks, we exposed a number of "top social traders" using the same tricks:
• Public wallets to attract copy traders
• Side wallets to dump
• Callouts to farm rewards
• Bundled tokens to hide supply
And there are plenty more doing the exact same thing
Why? Because our industry incentivizes it
1) Launchpads allow it
Most launchpads today are obsessed with one thing: volume. Millions in callout rewards, affiliate links, and top leaderboards. Almost nothing on detecting bundles, side wallets, or shady traders. Scams drive volume. Launchpads have no reason to stop it (other than actually caring about their users)
2) Social trading incentivizes it
Side wallets have become a business model. Before social trading, only big KOLs could do it. Now, anyone who lands on a leaderboard can monetize by dumping on their copy-traders. The temptation is real
3) CT normalizes bundle culture
“Everyone bundles. It's how it's done" - an excuse we hear every time we expose a KOL. Supply control isn't the problem. Hiding it is. If it's so bullish, why hide it? Spoiler: because you're planning to sell
***
Launchpads are paying millions to dishonest KOLs. It's time they start taking it seriously
Audit the top traders. Expose their side wallets. Ban repeat offenders
We have the tools. What's missing is the willingness to use them
No one's coming to save us

NEW: @bubblemaps SAYS A VIRAL CONTRACT CLAIMING PROXIMA PAID IT $45K A MONTH IS "A PITIFUL ATTEMPT AT FORGERY"
ON-CHAIN SLEUTH @dethective CLAIMS THE SAME ACCOUNT POSTED A FAKE "LEAKED CONTRACT" IN 2025 FOR AN ACQUISITION THAT NEVER HAPPENED

The account that "exposed Bubblemaps" is running the exact same play that it ran in 2025.
> Fake contract with a "story"
> Viral tweet (because wrong stuff spreads x100 faster on this shitty platform)
> Rug
Last time it was a "leaked contract" for a company bought by Pumpfun 🧵

Polymarket said impacted users will be made whole
Funds are still moving. We’ll keep tracking
2/ Update to our initial post:
@CarOnPolymarket faked being hacked. His drain did not match the pattern of the other victim wallets.
CT being CT
You can't make this up
@The__Solstice built a launchpad and is now shilling the top runner
Spoiler: it's bundled (again)
1/ An investigation into @The__Solstice, top #3 social trader, and his ties to a massive bundling operation
3/ Seventy wallets control 46% of $BOOMER
These wallets:
• had no prior activity
• received similar amounts of ETH in tight time windows
• were originally funded by Kucoin

4/ "Bundles are bullish"
Cut the crap.
The issue isn't bundling, it's hiding the supply.
$BOOMER uses fresh wallets and CEX funding to obscure the connections.
If you think supply control is bullish, don't hide it

8/ To Solstice’s credit, the bundles didn’t rug every token.
However, several clusters sold heavily into the charts
His public wallet is down -$70k on these tokens. The connected wallets are up $270k
